Terms of Use Change Log

Aggregated and de-identified data

Effective: 10/06/2026 · Posted: 09/03/2026 · Material change (thirty-day notice given)

We added a provision to Section 6 (Customer Content) describing how we create and use aggregated, statistical, and de-identified data, we rewrote Section 18 (Changes to These Terms) to commit to advance notice before any material change takes effect, and we added Section 19 (Entire Agreement and Order of Precedence).

• New Aggregated Data provision in Section 6. It defines Aggregated Data, requires us to remove direct identifiers and apply commercially reasonable safeguards before any use, commits us not to attempt re-identification, and requires any recipient to accept the same restrictions.
• Your data stays yours, and stays separate. Nothing in the new provision permits us to disclose your Customer Content, or any output generated specifically for you, to another customer.
• No sale of Aggregated Data. We will not sell, license, or distribute Aggregated Data as a standalone product, license, or data feed. Benchmarks, indices, and reports whose content is derived from Aggregated Data are Services, and we may offer them on a paid basis.
• Advance notice of material changes. Section 18 now commits us to at least thirty (30) days notice, by email to the account owner and by a notice within the Services, before a material change takes effect, and to maintaining this page.
• Precedence for negotiated agreements. If you have a separate written agreement with us that expressly addresses aggregated or de-identified data, that agreement controls over the new provision to the extent of any conflict.
• A new Section 19 (Entire Agreement and Order of Precedence) states which document controls when a negotiated agreement and these Terms disagree, and confirms that terms printed on a purchase order or vendor form do not change what we have agreed. The former Section 19 (Contact) is now Section 21. No other section is renumbered.
• A new Section 20 (General Provisions) adds standard terms that were previously missing: assignment, severability, and waiver. Assignment is the one worth reading. You need our consent to transfer your agreement to someone else, and we may transfer ours to an affiliate or as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of the business.
• The effective date moved from 10/01/2026 to 10/06/2026. Section 18 commits us to at least thirty days notice, and our notice went out later than planned, so we moved the date rather than shorten the notice. Nothing in the substance of the change is different; you simply have longer to read it.
